There's so much I want from 1953

Sometimes old photos and adverts just grab me and I end up staring and staring to see the finer details. The piece above is one of those ads. It's an advert for Laminex, featured in the House and Garden February 1953 edition, and I have found myself trying to breathe in what this kitchen would be like today. So much I want...

I must admit my mother never stood elegantly arranging flowers in our kitchen in the '50s , which certainly didn't look like this ! But she always wore heels , hat and gloves with her neat suit as she picked me up from school .... everybody's mother did then .
